What is an ounce-force inch?

It is a non-SI unit of energy or torque equal to the moment produced by one avoirdupois ounce force acting through a one-inch lever arm.

What does one kilowatt-second represent?

A kilowatt-second is a unit of energy equal to one kilowatt of power applied for one second, equivalent to 1 kilojoule.

Why convert from ounce-force inch to kilowatt-second?

Converting allows translation of small mechanical torque or work into a standard SI energy unit used for precise energy quantification in short-duration power applications.
